When it is said that wireguard doesn't support multicast what is really meant is that multicast traffic won't be replicated across multiple peers on the same interface. If only a single peer is required to receive the multicast traffic than assigning the multicast address to that peer will allow the multicast traffic to traverse the wireguard connection to it. When using OSPF with wireguard I find it easiest to just assign each peer to a seperate wireguard interface with an allowed-ip of 0.0.0.0/0. Then it just works because the multicast traffic passes and I don't have to worry about assigning every network that might ever use the peer to the allowed-ip list. If you need to use OSPF over a single or multiple peers on the same interface than most likely you should set the interface type to point-to-multipoint. point-to-point still uses multicast and NBMA still has a DR election and expects all neighbors to be fully meshed and able to talk directly to each other over the network. point-to-multipoint uses unicast but treats each link as a point-to-point connection so there is no DR election. > > vista > > On Mon, 16 Apr 2018, 11:27 cedric Kienzler, <cedrickienzl...@gmail.com> > wrote: >> >> Hey List, >> >> i'm currently facing issues with OSPF over the wireguard tunnel. >> >> I use both, IPv4 and IPv6 and everything works fine.
